Modern Sculpture in Accy

Has anyone noticed the "sculpture" outside the Acorn Health Centre on Blackburn Road? It looks like a childrens' playground designed by Henry Moore. Certainly, no one would have the inclination or strength to steal it.

This should be interesting....they were 'unloading' it on tuesday when I went past. I suspect what we have seen is the complete sculpture(s).
